Let's set a few things straight here.
- Nothing was directed at you. I had no one in mind when I made the post. You however made it personal, going for a personal attack because I expressed my dislike of a director when you said this
"Embarrassing take. When you knowingly have autism, you should think twice before proclaiming your retarded opinions."
All I was doing was expressing something I dislike. I like Tarantino movies for instance. I guarantee you there's people here who despise Tarantino who see him as subversive, anti-white, and even pretentious. I wouldn't necessarily say they're wrong, but I think his films are enjoyable. If someone ripped into Tarantino, I wouldn't insult them, I'd offer my perspective.
- After I elaborated on my opinion, you then say based on my inability to enjoy Christopher Nolan that I'm like a soul-less, joyless atheist. You're taking opinions of movie directors WAY too personally. And that sort of judgement is not something you should throw around lightly. I would not assess a persons spiritual state based on their taste in film. Some people only like comedies. Some people only like action movies. Some people only like Noir movies. Some people like a huge range of movies. You really can't tell much about a person by their taste in film. And to smear with one of the most offensive brushes you can wave at someone just because they express that they don't like a director and why they don't like it is not mature or prudent.
If you like Christopher Nolan, by all means enjoy him. There are movies and directors that I like that any number of these people on this forum could make fun of and tear apart because they don't like them. Everyone has opinions and they're free to say my takes are stupid, which people have done in the past.
You went too far with the personal attacks and implied I was making up my opinion, essentially lying about what I like and don't like to be contrarian which is why I elaborated and expressed that I don't like Christopher Nolan as a director full stop.
As for your argument that the "majority" of people like. That's ridiculous.
The majority of people like the Marvel constant quipping movies, but I bet you a good chunk of the people on this forum don't like that.
The majority of people in the 70s preferred ABBA over something like Pink Floyd or Black Sabbath. It didn't mean people who hated ABBA were morally bankrupt or lying. There was a time where Disco was super popular....I suppose the disco haters were just contrarians?
As far as pop culture goes, I don't like modernity, so most of entertainment falls into that realm.
Breaking Bad is my favorite TV show of all time. It's also one of the most popular shows in the eyes of the public of all time.
In that case, the popularity and my tastes match up. That rarely happens.
Video games didn't start embracing that modernity crap until around 2013 or so, so from the time I was a gamer until late PS3 generation, my tastes and the popular games of the time also lined up pretty well.
Now because I don't play modern games, my tastes don't line up.
I don't know how old you are, but I'm 33. If you live long enough, you'll reach an age where you hate the things that are popular.
My late grandpa basically only watched Gunsmoke, Bonanza, Columbo, John Wayne Western movies and sports. Because at some point his tastes and the tastes of the popular culture passed each other never to be seen again.
It happens to every person eventually, it's just because of the nature of modernity and my experience and displeasure with it, it's happened to me at an earlier age than it did typically to people in past generations.
EDIT: One other thing, I also want you to know that I have no desire to rob you of enjoyment of Christopher Nolan movies. There are movies that I refuse to look at analytically because they make me happy, either because of nostalgia or some other reason and no critic no matter how "smart" or well spoken they are is going to force me to view certain things the way they view it. My opinion was just that, an opinion. If his movies succeeded in entertaining you than he did his job. I'm just expressing my personal tastes.
I don't like Michael Bay. My mom likes Michael Bay. I've expressed why I don't care for his movies, and she's fine with it and it doesn't rob from her, her enjoyment of his movies. Just because I think analytically about certain things, doesn't mean you have to or even that if you did you would arrive at the same conclusion. I've always been an analyzer type of person, but I don't always have a negative opinion in my analysis nor do my analysis always align with people who are equally analytical. Movies are the type of thing where you can have 5 people get 5 different takeaways, or 5 people disliking it for 5 different reasons or 5 people liking it for 5 different reasons.
There's some people here, heck just this past week where I made a post about Indiana Jones and someone said that it's all pedophiles and Harrison Ford is a Jewish pedo and so is Steven Spielberg. There's some people who can't enjoy any level of Hollywood entertainment because to them it's all "Jewish propaganda". If that's their mindset, I'm not going to try to convince them to enjoy what I enjoy nor is it my job to.
I paid that comment no-mind. No one is going to argue me out of enjoying Indiana Jones or other Spielberg movies, and I don't expect that I am going to argue you out of enjoying Nolan films nor would I have any desire to take from you something you enjoy. My opinion wasn't an attack on Nolan enjoyers, but was actually shared for the people who also share my opinion on Nolan Batman. It doesn't bother me that you enjoy Christopher Nolan, and it shouldn't bother you that I don't enjoy Christopher Nolan. They're just opinions on film and personal tastes.
